Projects Completed in 2023 - 2024
Tree Planting
Tree/orchard/hedge planting took place at sites to enhance local green space through improving the local biodiversity and creating spaces that local residents/school children can enjoy.
Outputs:
- 2000 hedgerow plants planted
- 55 fruit trees planted
- 55 ‘standard’ trees
- 13 different sites planted across the county
Bench Planters
Bench planters were installed at sites across the county. They integrate native pollinator plants with seating, and will also provide, via a QR code a link to the new online engagement platform, which includes a survey questionnaire.
Benches are located at existing projects and potential future sites and as well as providing aromatic seating will hopefully help gather public views on their Local Place for Nature!
Outputs:
Manor Road Day Care Centre
Working with staff and clients of the day care centre a mixed tree orchard and native hedgerow has been planted, along with three bench planters with wildflower/herb plantings and rubber grass mats for wheelchair access. Whilst the site is fenced (for safe Day Centre management), the site is also intended to be accessible to the public as a community space.
Outputs:
- Mixed tree orchard and hedgerow
- Accessible sensory garden area
